General remarks
Machine concept The FRONIUS IG personal display enables current performance data to be viewed at
any time at any location within a specified distance of the unit.
All that is required to enable data to be sent to the personal display is the relevant
display card with a radio antenna for the FRONIUS IG. The power for the personal
display is supplied from batteries or from the power supply unit supplied with the equipment. Performance data from up to 15 FRONIUS IGs can be shown on the personal
display. The different display modes enable performance data from the whole installation or from each individual inverter to be viewed.
Notes on identification requirements for radio
appliances
System requirements
Functional principle
Changes or modifications of the radio module not expressly approved are not allowed
and will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
In the USA, radio modules are subject to FCC requirements:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC ID: QKWFRF905
FRONIUS IG system requirements for running the FRONIUS IG personal display:
- FRONIUS IG with serial number 17xxxxxx or above
- Relevant display card with radio antenna for FRONIUS IG

Before commissioning
WARNING! Incorrect operation may result in serious injury or damage. You
should not use the functions described until you have thoroughly read and
understood the following documents:
- these operating instructions
- all the operating instructions for the system components, especially the
safety regulations
General remarks
Proper usage The personal display is only suitable for use in photovoltaic systems that include a
FRONIUS IG inverter.
Any other form of usage is deemed improper.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages arising from such usage.
Proper usage also includes complying with all the instructions in the operating instructions
Setup regulations
To comply with IP20 protection requirements, the personal display must only be installed indoors.
The equipment should be protected from dampness.
The antenna can be set up and operated anywhere out of doors.

Preparing your FRONIUS IG for commissioning
WARNING! Mains voltage can cause fatal injuries. The connection area
should only ever be opened by an authorised electrical engineer, and only
when the power is disconnected.
WARNING! Mains voltage and DC voltage from the solar modules can cause
fatal injuries. Plug-in cards must not be installed unless the FRONIUS IG
- has been disconnected on the mains (AC) side.
- has been disconnected on the solar module side (DC side)
General remarks
NOTE! In the case of systems with several inverters, the antennae must be at
least 0.5 m (20 in.) apart so that communication with the personal display is
not disrupted. For an optimum range, we recommend a distance of 1 m (39 in.)
Important! The mounting bracket is part of the antenna. Only fit the antenna to the
mounting bracket supplied with the antenna.
